Man, I'll never fucking understand. Dlo got heat for that and yea, he fucked up but he was a kid at 19. Nick Young cheated on his fucking fiance but... dude got out of that scot-free for the most part. Ridiculous.

Meanwhile when NBA fans thought Kehlanie cheated on Kyrie they basically drove her to commit suicide. Idiots.

Two questions.

Is Pop a hater? Let the kid go to LA and be happy!

Secondly, I have been watching the Kobe Detail videos. Is he the best analyst in the game? I have not seen anyone put together videos with analysis like that before.

"I wish Okobo was still available when the Jazz pick"

Ron Paul I owe the board a one week ban.

I hope Ted Cruz turns into a good basketball player.

I'm probably not smarter than all the teams who let Okobo fall to the second round. So thats good. Still can't get excited. I really liked Okogie and was somewhat high on Huerter, the two picks before us. I wonder if the Jazz liked those two more than Allen.

Also it appears the mods don't have the guts to ban me. And I don't know the rules and don't want to post naked girls or something because I'm only looking for a week long ban.

I don't post here often anymore do to working all the time but I need to let NBA Era decide an argument for me.

I told a co worker if Joel Embiid was 100% healthy he would be better then Anthony Davis. My co worker's reaction was over the top and now I am crazy. So say you era am I dumb and crazy?

Hypothetical questions like these are kind of bad because Embiid's problems stem from the fact he's never healthy long enough to get into shape. We strictly don't know the limits of his cardiovascular and muscular endurance so we don't know if he can fix his defensive and offensive problems deep in the 3rd and 4th.

We generally know what Anthony Davis can do and he can do just about everything all game long.

Y'all both can make compelling arguments but Anthony is better right now. Regarding health, AD is not much less injury prone than Embiid—we really wouldn't know the full potential of healthy AD had he stayed 100%.

I wouldn't call you dumb and crazy for it though.

Anthony Davis' injury history is extensive but I don't think he's had as many season-ending injuries that limit training in the off-season like Embiid. I might be remembering incorrectly though.

I would take Davis over Embiid in a draft without a lot of hesitation, there's too many unanswered questions with Embiid that no one really knows the answer to. Embiid strangely struggles pretty hard against centers that play him physical from Adams to Kanter to Baynes/Horford. I don't think this is entirely a conditioning issue but we'll probably never know any time soon.

Davis's offensive arsenal is too good for me not to take him over Embiid.

Strictly from the eye-test I guess Embiid is probably better on defense but Davis is not that far off in that department.

AD at 80% is better than Embiid at 100%.

Embiid could definitely be a top 3 guy in today's league if he stays healthy so that's not a crazy thing to say.

But it's not something I would be that certain of either.

Anthony Davis is not only the superior player, but he is better suited for the modern NBA.

No contest.

Hard to judge embiid; this year is probably the closest to 100% he's ever been. And he's been great.
I'd choose AD as of now because he's had an amazing year especially after cousins went down. And he got even better in the playoffs.

AD > Embiid, best roller in the league, elite finishing, elite BBIQ, rim protection, switching, the perfect modern centre. Embiid's not bad though. I'm still pissed Philly traded Mikal and Lakers passed on Williams for Wagner, maybe I'll be wrong about the former but the latter just makes 0 sense

There is no contest so far, but I personally think that if Embiid ever reaches his potential his game would be better suited towards the playoffs. In theory a guy like him if he becomes Hakeem 2.0 could really destroy most teams defenses.

He is very far from that.
